Synopsis

'Deliriously clever' GUARDIAN

-----

Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series

When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.

Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.

With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them...

A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, Career of Evil is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives. You will not be able to put this book down.

***The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, LETHAL WHITE is out now! ***

PRAISE FOR THE STRIKE SERIES:

'One of the most unique and compelling detectives I've come across in years' MARK BILLINGHAM

Still unputdownable, with sharp social observation

I never normally read serial killer whodunnits as I find them too upsetting, and I still rather regret that JKR has got into this genre, but I really liked the powerful pro woman way this is written. The plotting is brilliant but what sticks with you is the descriptions of domestic violence and deprivation. All of the sexual relationships in the novel are depicted with the complexity of real life and in a very non p.c. way. I still find both Cormoran and Robin wonderful characters and now there are other great characters like Shanker. The story of Leda Strike is becoming fascinating too. I can't wait for the next one!

Detective Galbraith

From the first page to the last, the writer immerses the reader into the rich story line. As the characters develop the detective has you working hard along side of him to solve the case.
This could be described as the best of three but how to choose when you can re read the stories again.
Please bring out the next installment soon.
A devoted follower.

Page Turner....

I loved reading this book soo much!! After reading the first two, I was on count down for this to be released! Each chapter gets better and better, pulling you into the storyline until you can't help but make your own assumptions and develop expectations.

Career of evil

Very disappointing, I was so looking forward to reading this book and it was such a let down, shame. Nothing seemed to happen really, so it's unlikely that I'll be buying another Robert Galbraith book
